I Really Need To Come Up With A Better Name Than "Twine Balls"

Twine Balls.
Balls of Twine.
Balls with...twine on them...?

I have no idea what to call my latest creation, but I really love them....so regardless of the stupid name, I just had to share this cost-efficient design idea!

This isn't unique to me...I know I got the idea somewhere (or a variety of somewheres) but I just can't remember where.  A couple people I have showed them too have told me they have had this on their "to do" list too.  Mine stayed there for over a year before I finally decided to put my plan into action.

So you want you some purty little Twine Balls (seriously....someone got a better name for this?)???  Here's how you can get some for yourself...

1) Styrofoam balls

2) Twine

3) Hot Glue

4) Patience

Get all those goodies together and get to work!  It's time consuming, it's tedious, and I would consider you frickin' amazing if you finished with out a couple several hundred burns (I think I lost all feeling in my fingers for a couple days, and I'm still recoving from a major burn that resulted from resting my hand on the metal part of the hot glue gun....yeah, I know).  But it was well worth it to save me a $4-7 PER in the stores!

Soo...yeah, up close you may see some hot glue....but back up a little and they look PERFECT!

See??  Gorgeous!  Go have yourself some fun (or suffer through it) and display proudly!
